The Sandhill Crane, if you have never heard them, they have a very distinctive sound, and many times I hear them, but don't see them. :)

I used Perfect Effects 4 & SPE for the editing.

Thank you for commenting.

His feathers blend in and act as camouflage with that background Sandi. That's one huge bird! Well done.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Beautiful work, Sandi .
I like the background with his colors.
I saw some fly over yesterday and yes I heard them before I actually saw them .

I have probably heard them, but I can't remember what they sound like at the moment. Great looking shot, Sandi.

The composition to this photo is superb and lovely detail and colours in this capture plus the effect you applied adds a nice touch to this photo as well.

A well camouflaged Sandhill Crane Sandi. Clever that you saw it and so could make its portrait. When being silent, I think that a lot of people wouldn't have noticed it.

Well done!

Regards, Cornelius.

Would have been hard to spot him I'd say, but that red head might have helped, nice shot.

Beautifully colored Sandhill Crane. He blends in well. Nice job with this capture Sandi. The sound they make really sticks in your mind especially when there is a whole bunch of them.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
